Music: Yes. Really... I have actually promised money to some people to find a genre I don't like. I haven't owed any of them yet. Granted, there are artist I don't like, but thats to be expected. But don't try to talk to me about most artists, titles and the like. I just listen to the music. I don't know much about the stuff I hear on the radio.

Other Stuff: I have a neurological disease called Essential Tremor. If you read the one entry I have in my journal, that's how bad I was. Now, I'm on Mirapex, a Parkinson's drug, and it works well. I have had one bad day in the past year. and I can even work the cafe in the bookstore without spilling everything. Aside from that, I hope to save up some money to get back to school. I want a MS in Library Sciences. One day, I should have a career as a secretarial librarian for the government, preferably ORNL so I can stay where I'm at. I would also like to get my massage therapy certification, but I don't know if I'm going to or not. Oh, btw, I used to be indecisive. Now, I'm not so sure. 4laugh

Real name: Emmanuel
Nicknames: ERA, E, Manny, Skittles (thank you rave).
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Location: New York
Pets: 2 lizards. The youngest one is Mushu, my almost 3 foot bearded dragon and the oldest being Damien, my 12 inch leopard gecko. Ironically, she’s female.
Music: Different genres. I’m not too picky when it comes to music.
Movies: 300, Scarface, Any of the resident evil movies, any of the Evil Dead movies, Full Metal Jacket, Bad Boys 1 & 2, and Cloverfield just to name a few.
TV: WWE Wrestling, Ghost Hunters, Mind of Mencia, pretty much anything on Animal Planet, just about any season of Power Rangers, Robot Chicken, Metalacolaypse, and the Boondocks since I’m trying to keep my list short.
Anime: And this is where my list gets long. Bear with me. Here goes: One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, GTO, Outlaw Star, Escaflwone, Eyeshield 21 (yes, I even enjoy the highly edited dub), Full Metal Alchemist, Excel Saga, FLCL, G Gundam, Afro Samurai, and Azumanga Daioh, to cap off a list that could possibly span a good page or two.
Manga: And here is where it gets longer: Gintama, GTO, Kurohime, Reborn!, D. Gray-man, Buso Renkin, Excel Saga, Battle Royale, Battle Vixens, Eyeshield 21, One Piece, Rave Master, Full Metal Alchemist, +Anima, YuYu Hakusho, Knights of The Zodiac/Saint Seya, and Shaman King just to name a few of the back of my head.
Video games: Right I’m obsessed with all things Wii related so I’ll just go with my current addictions of Guilty Gear XX Accent Core and Mario Galaxy. Once Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes out stateside, I think I’ll end up developing insomnia. Oh, and there’s my addiction to Final Fantasy XI, the only MMORPG I play.

(I’ll eventually rewrite this to include more and add some pictures but for now, this’ll do.)

GREAT TATTOOIST ONI THE BIOGRAPHY
ROUND THREE

The name, why My account's original name was Battousai Oni, because I assumed Oni would be taken, and Manslayer Ogre is a pretty spiffy name, if a bit weaboo. The Great Tattooist Oni monicker came in 2007 when I started getting serious about becoming a tattoo artist. The rationale is the same as Onizuka's in Great Teacher Onizuka.
Aliases Many, but I will always be Spider to pretty much everyone.

Why AtreeX?: One of my nicknames is Adri, and one day a friend said, "Hey! That sounds like A-TREE! (long "A")" Later, on Neopets, I needed a nickname. So I chose the first thing that came to mind - Atree, and I've used it everywhere ever since. Here, on Gaia, the "X" is to balance out the "shape" of the name.

Favorites:
Anime - Don't watch much. I liked .Hack//sign, Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, and Cyborg 009 while it lasted. Occasionally, I see an episode of Samurai Champloo. My first anime was Pokemon, or YuYu Hakusho. (I forget.)
Manga - FullMetal Alchemist, Yakitate!! Japan, Bakuman, Fairy Tail, Death Note, Axis Powers Hetalia (does that count?). I could name many more. I could probably hold a conversation regarding almost any shonen series, but I flee from shojo. (Although Count Godchild and Ouran High School Host Club were/are good.) Shaman King was my first manga.
Video games - SSBM and SSBB, the LoZ and Pokemon games, the Professor Layton series, and Tetris.
Music - Almost everything, except for most country, rap, hip hop, techno, and electronica. I prefer classical, jazz/blues, soft rock stuff, and Disney soundtracks though.
Books - The Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the Flies, A Sound of Thunder (okay, it's a short story, whatever), Dandelion, Good Night Moon, Harry Potter, other stuff I can't remember.
Live Action Movies - "Forrest Gump," "Amadeus," and "The Shawshank Redemption."
Animated Movies - Studio Ghibli ("Spirited Away") and classical/renaissance Disney ("The Aristocats," "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "Peter Pan), Pixar (ha ha, all of it) stuff. Of course.
Random: I have Social Anxiety Disorder, resulting in low self esteem and a constant desire to hide from people. Also, I've been told that my personality resembles that of Izuru Kira from Bleach. I guess that's a fairly good description - neurotic, antsy, anxious, wimpy, a tendency to have mental breakdowns, and often feeling guilty. Underneath it all, I'm still not a bad person though.

(I apologize for the extreme length of this... I can never be succinct no matter how hard I try.)
